Any fellow Canadians out there !? My aunt just showed me an app that tracks how much you walk (by your phone) and rewards you for walking by giving you scene points ( for non Canadians those are points for a free movie !). My auntie has been getting 1 free movie every 2 months only from the points earned on the app ! Just thought I'd let you guys know !

Also I need some more friends here so please add me !!

    It'd be cool if it gave you points towards doing something active...I hate the movies

    So, now to figure out how to connect my Garmin to it. I don't track steps on my phone.

    Ya my coworker just told me about this! Unfortunately I can't have my phone on me at work and my activity tracker isn't a fitbit so it doesn't sync, but I'm getting all my non-work walking on it.

    Here's what I'm trying (and I don't really have it working yet, so consider that).

    Garmin watch and android phone.
    Downloaded an app called FitnessSyncer
    Downloaded Google Fit
    Downloaded Carrot

    So, in theory, Fitness Syncer should take my steps from Garmin and push them to Google Fit, from there they get pushed to Carrot.

    It's not working. Google Fit only gets steps I take with my phone. I don't run with my phone. Google Fit does show the workouts etc. but does not sync steps.

    So, if I can't figure this out I've got a bunch of apps to delete.

    Thanks! Update us here if you do get it to work, I'm sure lots of ppl have trackers that aren't fitbit and would like to use this.
